We’ve been
acquaintances for far too long
Stealing
glances and shifting looks in crowded rooms
Time has
passed and some feelings under this bridge
Years have
left their mark on our lives and this
But then
one cool October evening
In the
middle of an old, quaint tavern
We shared
what we had left silent for far too long
We caressed
the memory of what we knew
Your
apprehension mixed with the idea of us
My comfort
intertwined with the laughter you brought
Finally
after all these years, our eyes met
At last,
all those stolen memories turned into midnight kisses
Secrets
were shared over full glasses of rum
Our vision
blurred, but the possibilities were clear
You couldn’t
believe the burdens I’ve been carrying alone
And I could
finally tell you all the things you thought I didn’t know
You, the
funny one, with peace to offer the world
Me, the
dubious soul, with demons that I couldn’t silence
But at 2 AM
with rum in our veins and you on my lips
I knew what
you always have too
Morning
came and those moments put back in the closet
The sun rose
and so did doubt and ‘what if’
I know you
like you have always known yourself
You see me,
in the way that I wish I saw myself
But you
have a life back home and someone waiting
I have a
heart that’s been broken, and doubt unforgiving
I’ve said
my apology and let go of this dream
And I can
only sit here and wonder
Do you ever wonder about me?
